New Visions - Nuevas Visiones

-


New Visions is the name of the show at the Dolores Olmedo Museum in which I will be part of. The vernissage will be on saturday (June 2nd, 2007) and the exhibition will last three months, up to the 2nd september 2007. That will be a great forum.

This month has given me wonderful news, next week I will be flying to London... an appointment there... this is the first time I will be traveling for such a short time to Europe, I cannot stay longer because of my vernissage at the Museum in Mexico City. But this show sure worths it :)

London was for a long time my favorite city, then I visited other charming places... I am excited to see if London now has the same impact it has for me when I was a teenager. I don't know all these new wonderful constructions of Foster and Calatrava...it will be quite an experience and besides all those art galleries. Besides now I am a painter, and my eyes have changed very much because of this...

I am very happy, I have just seen that Euan Uglow, one of my favorites painters is at the Marlborough Gallery on May. I will see Freud, Saville, Bacon, ... oh I cannot wait to be at Abbey Road.

I like London... it is the city where Beatles have grown up... the city where royals and punks live together... the city where Jack the Tripper lived 100 years ago... a beautiful big city...

This weekend I went twice to the Royal Academy of Arts to the talks of Mexican Architects.  The first talk on Saturday was by architect Michel Rojkind. It was amazing, I liked very much the friendly and social approach to all of his projects, they are quite innovative and he thinks of people.  He is an excellent story teller and all the public was captured by his talk. He is a people person, and he reflects that in his architecture... the project that impact me the most was the on-site extension of la Cineteca Nacional. I loved this place since I was very young and used to live in Satélite; as I am a film lover remember driving every weekend there. Later I was lucky enough to live in Coyoacan so I travelled there by bike.  I was very impressed by the fact that Rojkind's project involves the whole area of the Cineteca, he includes the Archives in his plan and leaves the old Cineteca building untouched, giving tribute to the history of this old buildi...

A leap of faith

  13 years ago I took a leap of faith and came with my family to London.  I thought it was going to be easy. It was not. I thought that because during my youth I lived in another country, and it was one of the best experiences in my life. That other country was Germany, and since then I longed for Europe, well I confess I still do… because you should know, England is not Europe. Of course this is my very personal view. I was born in Mexico City, a vibrant and chaotic city. Mexico is a surreal beautiful country. When you are abroad you worth it even more. You might wondered then, why did we decide to leave Mexico?  Well, we decided to leave Mexico because my country was becoming very insecure. It was during president Calderon’s failed drug war. Mexico was so violent that we decided to migrate for the sake of our family.  I have been very lucky to be able to travel a lot during my lifetime. When I was a kid, I was two months in China. It was the China of Mao ...
